watching the nerds in here get upset and say 'no trophy gtfo' is the only value the trophy room has

I have no idea what either person above me is trying to say but you CANNOT use Ebotdz vs. any zealots in gm melee duels as a wolf druid, it's been tried and failed multiple times in the past several months and wolf druids are now unable to beat zealots unless they have an eth repair fools weapon. The people posting here are not familiar with the updates to wolf druids or how they currently work in GM melee vs. paladins and misinformation will continue to spread as a result of that. Nothing you can do.

e/ Using EBOTDZ with Angelics is absolute crap - you're getting rid of Highlords and two melee rings and a jewel in your SS or helm to Cham it and sacrificing EVERYTHING to use an ebotdz on a character that will die to a good zealot before you can get the necessary number of hits off.

The 2 sock 40 ias 300 ed eth fools PB you describe is hypothetical, does not exist in D2R, and likely never will due to how consistently and strictly Blizzard is banning bots and the inevitably shorter lifespan of this game. All you are doing is comparing this weapon to a hypothetical item that will likely not exist in this game and I strongly disagree with that. My opinion is mine and yours is yours. If you continue to use hypothetical items that don't exist here and only existed in LoD as an import or 10 years of botting as the baseline to compare EVERYTHING TO, this item is crap. If you look at D2R as an independent entity from LoD that does not have the same exploits/hacks (i.e., imports) and the same degree of botting, this item is a trophy (at least for the GM melee community). You saying that this item is Charsi when it and others like it consistently go for 20k-25k is inherently incorrect - why are you telling someone to Charsi something that people find value in (up to 25k) that is USEFUL in gm melee duels? You think the people buying these are clueless losers unfamiliar with EBOTD? Tier1 who just bought a similar pb for 35k fg (https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=95899886&f=268&p=621717784#p621717784) has more melee knowledge than most people here combined, has probably 2 415 ED EBOTDs in different bases, does NOT spend fg frivolously, and still spent 35k on that pb. But I guess we are all wrong and you are right.

A good wolf druid is no longer too expensive to make. Go make one, equip a 414-415 ebotd, and go up against any of the top zealots on D2R - they're not hard to find, check out either of the two GM melee ladders in legit dueling subforum and PM them asking for a duel. I'm sure they'll be happy to absolutely destroy you with your EBOTD. You think people haven't tested this? I have a rare dagger that beats EBOTD in every way on paper and still doesn't come close to beating a well geared paladin.


Edit/ I'd like to clarify that EBOTD is still basically BiS for fury vs. fury and is extremely valuable in that scenario, but NOT for wolf druid vs. zeal where this fools PB would really shine.

this guy is 100% correct. If you wanna go in a tourny then you have to follow the rules. No BM items allowed. The PB is a gem. Anyone can make a grief or ebotdz. They're stupid and nobody cares about runewords.

Ebotdz > this phase blade


It’s not even particularly close.

And yes ebotdz is gm

all you play is assassin in LoD. the fuck you know about melee
and you’re not even the top sin player
that Bui guy in your name is probably better than you
like how you think ebotd is better than everything

thats you. you ebotdz
